Maybe if they made movies adults want to see that would help...and oh yes...leave out your stupid socialism/greenie/multiculti-at-all-cost crap.

I used to go to movies- to be entertained, not lectured.

I literally can't recall the last movie I paid to see, it has been so long ago... all they make nowadays ( to judge from the trailers I see ) are ripoffs of old plots, movies about cartoon characters ( for Gawd's sake! ), and "stuff about the Future"-- a "future" where everything is wet, dark, and scary, and everything blows up or shoots lightning bolts. It's all faux... even the sex is Faux.

Give me a break- this trash might entertain a kid, but it bores me.

Indeed. We are on the exact same page.

And further, when they make a movie with carefully crafted dialogue and good acting (without explosions, etc.), they're pushing abortion or mercy killing or global warming because of the US or whatever.

Want to see some great movies try NetFlix and a series called Decalogue. It is a Polish TV program - 10 one hour shows on the Ten Commandments. Subtittles Yes - but they are powerful one hour stories on the morals of this time. The series came out in 1988 and watching the way people lived in Poland will also be a great lesson to kids on why the Soviets and Communists are gone. There is no preaching in this, but it will cause you to think about - have no Gods or Thou Shalt Not ___. The small pictures of 1988 Poland show how much the church was part of their questions about their society.
